BRIEFS The boss says wo have a static silhouette here In the office ? the shadow of that uew office boy. Most of us would be pleased If theer was a way to ration the words of thoee endless telephone conversationalists. Fashion writers refer to a static silhouette. This .Is as unintelligible to ns as that other kind of static? A new Ink glows In the dark. .This should be an effective means of preventing one stumbling over' - the ^wostebasket at night. Zadok Duuibkopf says that when be first beard of the Bong of Wong, he thought folks were referring to a new big league home run king. Another-' reason the Japs have failed to pull of their "spring offensive" against Australia may ,be the fact that It's autumn down under now.

Groundling Invaders slmplj can roll in. in irresistible waves That presumably is what oui A. E. F. is in Ireland for?to swish, plus the English, across the Channel and swamp Germany, in co-operation with the Russians, from the other direction. Sir Stafford Crippa told parliament about It, as Winston Churchill's spokesman, a few days ago. Flyers Pave tbe Way But the aviators are expected to prepare things for this surface movement, in advance. During World War No. 1, of which I saw quite a bit. as a news correspondent, the airman was an observer mainly. He might spill a few bombs. German airships were something of a nuisance over London, but no serious worry. Thel damage they did was negligible. That was what orthodox ' warriors anticipated this time. Instead ?My!?they raise hades. It's reciprocated, too. Fut what German air bombers have done, over England and what British flyers have done to German centers like Rostock and Mannheim isn't a circumstance to Japan's vulnerability ha a target for our own airmen. Brig. Gen. Jimmy Doolittle and 79 other American flyers proved this a few weeks ago without losing a single plane. You need to have lived In Japan, as I have, to appreciate that kind of a raid's effects in the Mikado's realm. \ On a second thought, I slightly qualify that reference to the Mikado. Some unquestionably Americanly Joyal locally-born Japs, whom I know, assure me that Emperor Hlrohito didn't want to get into this war and that a lot of his conn trymsn didn't, but that they were yanked Into it forcibly by Nippon's war lords, the crazy Samurai. Their dope Is that we ought to propagandize decent Japan and well win 'em over to our side In due course. Just now, though. Is an emer* gency.. Momentarily the poor cusses require extermination. > So do the Germans, but they're not so easy to exterminate. Germany la substantially built. Its factories and things can have sizable chunks blasted out of them, and still function. A Jap factory, though, resembles one of our "tempos" in Washington. Set it ah re and it's a goner, for a whole group of city blocks. It isn't confined to that one; others catch quickly. Pkum Have Advantage j '* It can't be done naviatorially. j Most of the places aren't close I enough to the seafronL Yokohama | Is, and so is Kobe, but not farther Inland. They'call for aviation. And it must make 'em holler to have I bombs dropped as close to the Imperial palace aa LaFayette Park is to the White House?Just across I the street. I know that Imperial layout?a palace, with a big park around it, a wall around that and a moat surrounding the wallWell, it's nearly Impossible to worm in on an qlleged defense of that kind with a naval force. It's gotta be squashed from overhead. Plane-carriers are line,, to get close up. Transports are vital, to land ground forces, and supply 'em. Cruisers and destroyers are essen uai to run errands. But big ships are getting to be superfluous. Aviation protects 'era, more than anything else does. Aviation appears to be IT in modern warfare. WE, THE PEOPLE A Series of Editorials By HARRY K. PARKER. , (Assistant Director of Recreation, 1 Charge of Negro Division Greensbo Recreation Commission.) Written Especially for THE FUTURE OUTLOOK. ' tL "A Tribute to the Negro Buslne League." "All life's a business," says Pre dent L. H. Russell, president of tl local chapter of the National Neg ; Business League. And he's right 1 F< ' lowing' this premise, Mr. Ruse 1 tackled : the Job of * organizing t ; Greensboro Negro Business League. have nothing but words of praise f ; this" One organization. Congratul tlons" to President Russell and t business men who have made tl organization go, and goodness kno' we needed It badly.' Tbe Leagu | main project over tbe year has be >' the establishment of a day nurses : FUTCBE jinrrtOOK. CREENSBOKl I an excellent Idea, which Lb surely bti ' slowly, 'taking the form of reullt} The League lias purchased I Lb lot and is working on plans for a build ing. 1 understand. that n teiuporur building may 1* used, with the ? operation of the W. P. A. and othe agencies, until a new building can 1# constructed. I give the League eredl for staying on the line. The organl zntion has not attempted to do J hundred and one projects; It has cor centruted on the day nursery, and i looks like it will stay with it untl it has lieen completed. This Is goo< planning. 1 believe Lant week we wrote about ttv t "forgotten man." Much of the sue cess of the Kusiue&s League has beet the result of the Joining together o all the business folks, all the srnal shop keepers, grocery men, shoemak ers, fish marketers, und others. The?* are the men who have put the Leagui over. Do you remember the banque presented by the League some whll ago, honoring domestic and servlci personnel? That really was some thing! What a swell Idea It was Windsor Center was full that nigh women, remembered and honored bj of a crowd of "iorgutten men" an< women, remembered and honored bj the league. And those banquets ant . luncheons at league,meetings everj week were swell, too. 'Tls a fine or gaulr.atloQ?the league. More folk! ought to join up and work with th< projects they sponsor. I have heart a lot of criticisms from the usual bnnch of "knockers" about the league and Its president. You know, there"! an Interesting game?the "knockers.! xney complain, and negatively critl dze everything that happens, good 01 bad, they always can do It bettei than anyone else; but one odd thlnf la that they never do anything them selves?nothing worthwhile. I liki this self-Inventory business; befon folks started talking about others seems to me they ought to look ai themselves first; then they'd be s< busy getting themselves straight thai they wouldn't have a second of tlmi to worry ^ about other people. I an not, talking about what I think, hyii what I have experienced. There ar< some perpeutal "knockers" who maki it their business to knock me and th? center, too, but as Funeral Dlrectoi Perry Brown says, "every knock ii a boost." Just look at some of thesi "knockers" sometimes. Their closet! are so full of the proverbial skele ton sthat they realy need a whoh house of closets. Why I could tel you something about some of the? folks that would make you fall ont And would make you scratch you head, and ask how In the name o | goodness could they ever think abou talking about someone'else. Well, I sort of got off the subjed but honestly. Just the thought o these "knockers" la enough to gc 1 anybody off. Back to the Buslnes , League?this man Russell la a Bwe fellow; you can say what you war about him but he's done a jam u Job In heading up the Buslnei League, and he's a true man of th people?that's what I like most abo\ In him?the other men In the league ai re Just that way; too. And anoth< thing I like about this man Russellhe'a not a "fence-sitter." WelL whi Is a "fence-sitter7" you ask. Well, "fence-altter" Is one of these foil M who has no convictions nor stand < his own; he goes with the wind l with the croyd; he's for anythli fie tfas crowd la for. President Russell r? far from this sort He says hat 1 >b means, makes his' stand and kee* sll It, and fights for It. I wish everybo< he waa that way around here; maybe i I could really accomplish eomethlc or Good luck, Mr. Rowel and mem be la- of the Negro Business League! Ke> he up the good work I Forget t!

Deeming worldly riches naught. But vanity to the spiritually poorr To refrain from persecution. Of souls whom do us wrong, To let the hand of God repay, Eeneinles whom are ruthlessly strong? To oppress not the humble poor. Nor mislead the spiritual!; blind. Neither lust for silver or gold. And even to enemies be kind. To run life's race with patience, unjealous of other's good works. Attending to our own affairs, Avoiding places where daogera lurk.
